My database (.mdb) has a 255 lenght text field, I need to insert the content of a request.form of not a text field, but a TEXTAREA:
---code---
<textarea name="comentario" rows="10" cols="50" wrap="PHYSICAL">
--end-code-
how can I limit the textarea to a max number of characters, like 255?
I think I should use any ASP code and a "there is an error" page, but I dont wonder how to made the sintaxis.
I know we have this thread somewhere, but I can't seem
to find it now
I want to show the first 100 chars of a string, but
I don't want a word to be cut in half at the end, it must
show the whole word then and go a bit beyond 100 chars.
This will be used for a comments system, comments will be displayed on the front page, and I want the field (Comment) to only display the first 300 or so chars
View Replies View RelatedI am having a probem with asp, xml, com while using chinese chars. The chinese letters come out of com fine and they are also fine when i use asp to write to a text file.
When i load the chinese chars into an xml dom they become invalid Chinese chars show as this æˆ'çš,,模æ?¿. but when i doa xsl translation then some of the chinese chars are displayed and some are shown as garbage chars. My ASP Page has the following headers
<%@Language=VBScript CodePage="65001"%>
<%
Response.CharSet = "UTF-8"
Response.ContentType = "text/html"
%>
My XSL has the following header <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> ..
Part of the content of one of our web pages uses wingdings and Chr(239)
through Chr(242) (which are little arrow outlines, though that's not really
important.)
It worked just fine in Windows 2000 Server, but now under Server 2003 it
seems that characters above 127 get converted somehow, and our code no
longer produces the desired effect.
Does anyone know how to make it send our content without modification, or
how to encode it in a way that it makes it out to the browser with the
intended character value (as opposed to some thoroughly useless conversion
to a 7 bit value)?
I have an ASP function in place to strip invalid chars out of a data store
before I create an XML file of this data, but my function doesn't work on a
certain set of chars.
As far as I can see these are the following:
a) trademark char
b) long hyphen/dash char
c) smart/curly quotes (both left and right)
Even though my function is set up as follows: Code:
I have a string
ASP Code:
Dim address
address = "C:Documents and Settingsob"
How do i delete the first 26 chars of so when i display this on screen it will only display bob and not C:Documents and Settingsob
I have a form where the user enters a customer name, then clicks the submit
button which then adds it to a database. This works absolutely fine untill
the name has an apostrophe in it.
eg when the name entered is O'Hanlon and its submitted, I get this
error.....
Microsoft JET Database Engine (0x80040E14)
Syntax error (missing operator) in query expression ''O'Hanlon'
We try to insert some illegal chars such as "I don't know how to do it" from notes textarea to the DB.
When I insert, it said that "Microsoft OLE DB Provider for SQL Server (0x80040E14) Line 1: Incorrect syntax near 't'." which is "Don't" .
I have tried this: notes= replace(replace(Request.Form("notes"),chr(13)," "),chr(10),"<BR>") But, NO LUCK. How can we make it works?
I'd like to have a counter that tracks # of chars typed... so I don't risk having my message box truncated. Gonna be JS-based huh?
View Replies View RelatedI have an application that let's the user enter text into a textbox and this
data is collected on the server and stored in a database.
The page is multilingual and sets Response.Charset to the appropiate for the
language, for example gb2312 for chinese etc. This made all texts on the page
show up alright.
However, I did not change the codepage of the page so ASP encoded the post
data sent to the server and I have got really ugly texts for certain
languages.
I have had applications before doing the same thing where the page has been
able to decode the posted characters again when redisplaying them, but in
this case I haven't been able to get anything meaningful from them.
It seems to me that the encoded text depends on the charset used when
entering the text, entering chinese characters when using iso-8859-1 gives me
character codes like Ó’ which probably would be alright to convert but chinese
text that has been entered in the gb2312 charset look like this Code:

Is there any solution to my problem?
I have an ASP page that loops through a SQL Server 2000 table, then
downloads an Excel sheet the users can save, etc. Works fine, except, I see
that in one particular "comments" field the Excel sheet returns a #VALUE!
error in the cell when there is a large amount of text. I've looked through
the MSKB, MSDN and many ng posts to see if there is a workaround or solution
to this, inclduing looking at the xlWorksheet properties (I've tried
'xlWorksheet.Cells(iRow, 11).WrapText = True), played with Orientation, etc.
But to no avail.
my problem is that i load an xml file (which displayed well in iexplorer standalone) with an asp file, and the page displays o instead of ő, u instead of ű, so my central european characters are changed. the xml well formed, and well encoded. i hope ;)
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-2"?>
<tests>
<test>o</test>
<test>Å‘</test>
</tests>
I have loads of text in russian chars that I need to put to a MySQL db (version is 3.23).
a) Is there some way to make MySQL db to accept russian chars?
b) If not, there must be ready-to-use functions to convert the russian chars to HTML-entities?
The site is done with ASP & VbScript, but of course JScript/Perl script based function suits well too. I've tried searching with Google too but thin results
The problem is that a person uses kind of a CMS where he/she can type different language versions of certain phrases. In practise there is a textarea type of field for all languages where he/she types the russian text which is then saved to a MySQL database.
